Notes

[1] In LhasaLha sa
especially there was a more “polite” term used for monks,
kuzhapsku zhabs. But in the great monastic academies, the term
kuzhapsku zhabs was reserved for recognized incarnations
(trülkusprul sku) also called lamabla mas.

[2] For
example, we know that the Italian Catholic missionary Ippolito Desideri (1684-1732) lived and studied
at SeraSe ra for a short time, and that the Zen monk Kawaguchi
Ekai also lived at SeraSe ra in the early part of the twentieth century.
